Canvas - pattern give away, and sale ends tomorrow

I am so thrilled the people have been buying my pattern from both my Craftsy and my Esty shop - thank you!! Until midnight tomorrow, June 2, it will still be half price (use the coupon code CANVAS50 on Esty) for the conclusion of the opening sale. After that it will still be available, just at regular price.

I thought I would share some versions from my pattern testers. Debbie, from a Quilter's Table, used colours that totally remind me of her to make this fantastic mini. The pattern is sized from mug rug to large king size.

If you have been working on a version of Canvas and I have missed you, please send me an email so I can include your version next time I do round up post.

I made this baby size version. But after consulting with the internet via instagram here, I have decided to cut that binding off, and redo it. Although it is not terrible, it is not adding anything to this little quilt. But I wanted to make an all prints version of the pattern.

These last two are pillows that I am working on. They have a very retro mod look to me, I think it is the colours.

If you have made it this far, just leave me a comment for a chance to win a copy of the pattern. Let me know whether you are good with pdf patterns or prefer paper copies - this pattern is a pdf, but I would like to know for making future plans in terms of patterns. If you follow my blog or me on instagram, you can have a second entry, just leave a second comment and tell me how you follow me. I'll close the draw on Friday night at supper time and draw the winner randomly.

If you have already bought the pattern and then win (here or on any of the pattern tester giveaways), I will refund you the price you paid for the purchase, so don't hesitate to buy the pattern while it is still on sale if you would like to be sure you have it now.

I have some more quilt patterns to write up, and also will be putting my pattern(s) up for sale in some more shops. I will keep you posted.

I love the clean lines of this quilt. My first instinct would be to stick with solids, but after seeing some of these lovely versions, prints might be a possibility. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of your pattern.

SO fun to see all the different versions! I prefer PDF versions because I often like to mark patterns with colors or make check marks as I cut out pieces. If I have the pattern as a PDF, I can always print a new one if I want to start with a clean slate if I use the pattern again.

I much prefer pdf patterns. I live in the UK and it means I don't have to pay ridiculous postage costs (set by the delivery companies, not the pattern designers!) or get stung for customs. I can also print it more than once so if there's a template and I rip it, or a pattern that I scribble on, I can have a fresh copy for the next time.

I like PDF's and paper patterns for different reasons. I really like paper patterns for clothing, only because you have to print so much for a PDF, but for quilts and handbags, PDF's work perfectly and you don't have to store much, which is nice! Great pattern Leanne!

For quilts, I prefer PDFs. I can directly cut the templates in the paper and glue them on cardboard. (and no waiting for two weeks, with posting fees higher than the pattern price...)Thank you for the chance to win.

I love the way the fabric choice really changes this pattern! I don't mind PDF patterns. I like how instant it is and you don't have to wait for mail. Thanks for the chance to win ;c) shopgirl7232(at)yahoo(dot)com
